Sawhill Custom Kitchens & Design has been designing kitchens, baths, and whole-home remodels for Twin Cities homeowners since 1971, working from a showroom at International Market Square in Minneapolis. President Matt Cook leads a seven-person team of senior designers, project managers, and a project coordinator, and the firm belongs to NARI of Minnesota and NKBA, with CKD- and CMKBD-certified designers on staff.
Its designers have won repeatedly in NKBA Minnesota chapter design awards — first-place honors in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — alongside CotY Best in Show and national and regional first-place kitchen honors in 2023, three RotY MN first places in 2025, and a national and regional RotY first place for a bath in 2026.
Unusually for the trade, Sawhill publishes budget tiers up front: kitchens from $30,000 to $150,000-plus depending on scope, bathrooms from $20,000 to $80,000-plus, basements typically $80,000 to $180,000-plus, and whole-home remodels starting around $100,000. The firm describes these as starting points, not quotes.
